A point OF considerable interest In the mas
culine character is presented with sufficient
collateral proof In q letter Of correspondent
In another column upon the flannel shirt. Ac-
cording to tho lady who writes, the ignominous
surrender to an unsympathetio public opinion.
recorded by A. F. T. in last Sundays Sun. was
due entirely to the vanity Of man and his I'M
willingness to depart, even for his own COM
fort. from an arbitrary standard OF society.
particularly that In Dress Man Is here shown
to be as weak in this respect as woman. He ID
as much the slave Of fashion.
This must be true. When We consider the
greater comfort Of q flannel shirt and the al
most entire absence Of the article from daily
use by commercial men, and also the utter
failure OF the Hon. EUGENE FIELD to enlist any
considerable body Of compact supporters to
launch the longed-for knickerbockers we are
forced to conclude. even II We had not thought
It before. that man ia q creature Of vanity and
submission to any law that his fellows choose
to lay on his shoulders.

Though the prejudice against such mar
Wages has a sounder basis than mere super
Odtion, their evil effects upon offspring seem
to have been exaggerated. except In In
stances where there Is family predisposi-
ton to serious disease. In 1871, when the
English census was TO be taken, Sir JOHN
LUBBOCK, DR.. PLAYHAIR, and other soten-
Atflo men made an effort to have statistics
obtained % to the prevalence and oonse-
quences Of cousin marriages, but unfortu-
nateiy they were defeated by Parliament
which was silly enough TO treat their propo-
sitinn with scornful laughter. Afterward
Mr.. QEoRaB Fl. DARWIN, a son Of the great
DAHwm and himself man OF much soien-
tito reputation. undertook an investigation
On hts own account though In compare
sion that. on the average, such marriages
did not produce the evil effects commonly
attributed TO them.
But Slgnor PAoLo MANTEaAzzA. pro-
lessor ct Pavia, made somewhat similar
inquiry In 1865 and his deductions were that
'consanguineousm marriages are, on the whole,
moro unfavorable to the offspring than
others." and that 1.-THE nearer the kinshp
tho greater the danger" and the more so
when the kinship is through the mother,
"beoause more evil or good Is heritable from
the mother" Mr.. DARWIN himself acknowl-
edges that the preponderance Of opinion
among the many authorities examined by
him ID that the Ill effects Of cousin mar
ria2es are greater than his partial inves-
tigation showed them to be. DR.. CRICiI-
TON BROWNE OF tho West Riding asylum for
lunatlos and idiots expresses the opinion
that "eyen healthy Compartments, when
common TO both parents, often come out RS
decided caohexie In the ohildren:" and he
goes so far as to contend that no persons OF
similar temperaments ought to marry. DR..
LANDER LINDSAY of Scotch asylum thinks,
on the other hand, that 1.-The i'll effects of
cousin marriages, including insanity. are
much less than represented" DR.. ARTHUR
MITCHELL, who. as Deputy Commissioner in
Lunacy for Scotland, made very thorough
investigation Of blood relationship In mar
riage, comes to the conclusion that "con-
Sanguinity in parsntage tends to injure the
offspring"

The New Map of the Congo.

No map ever told more eloquent story OF
prodigtous labor and geographical zeal
than the map Of the Independent Congo
State Just issued by lie Movement GGogrdph-
iQle Of Brussels. In one respect the history
OF this map Ia perhaps unexampled. Fully
prepared for publication five or six times
within the past few months, it has each time
been Withdrawn for further additions and
corrections, neoessitated by fresh news from
tho Congo. It has appeared at last and it
gives tho first complete record OF the work
of O dozen enthusiastic explorers who, with
out doubt, have within the past three years
added greater number OF remarkable facts
to geographical knowledge than have been
discovered anywhere within the same limit
Of time in many years.
The Congo basin, 30 recently great white
blank on our maps, Is now two-thirds ex-
plored. The tracing Of It's wonderful net
work Of waterways and the study OF its
teeming life are now far advanced. We see
on this map the names Of scores of tribes,
numbering millions Of people. OF whose ex-
istence the world was ignorant five years
ago. We observe that the height above the
seq Of hundreds Of places has been ascer-
tanned, and by studying these figures we
readily understand how 1t is that some white
men have been able to live in good health
for years In this torrid region.
Though the Congo basin has no towering
Alpine region its mean elevation Is more
than double that Of Europe. Lake Superior,
the source of tho greatest water system
emptying into the northwestern Atlantic, is
only COL feet above the ocean. The altitude
of the Congo, only 800 miles from It's mouth,
Is more than one and half times that Of
Lake Superior, and its various headwaters,
from 1000 to $500 feet above the Atlantic,
pour over many cataract and hiss through
many q rapid before they reach the sea. 1t
Is the lofty plateaus of the Congo basin that
have fitted 1t 10 be the home Of millions OF
people, while the low-lying Amazon valley,
In the Same latitude, only about 800 feet
above the sea at the foothills Of the Cordn-
leras, Is very sparsely settled.
new world has been opened to view by
the researches Of these brave explorers. They
have already laid down a part Of the Congo's
long course as accurately 1t is believed. as
our own coast line Is mapped They have
given us the most remarkable geographical
surprises of this age. and the world will
study with great interest the future re-
searches Of these men, whose past labors
have been so rich In results.
